The general level of nutrition
remains high. There has a sig-
nificant shift in eating patterns
over the decade, reflecting
greater emphasis on health,
frozen and convenience foods.
Consumption of several items,
such as sugar, eggs, fresh po-
tatoes and fresh green vegeta-
bles, has declined substan-
tially.
Other changes include:
a long-term decline in con-
sumption of red meats –
beef, lamb and pork – while
at the same time consump-
tion of poultry has been ris-
ing;
a rise in fish consumption;
an increase in purchases of
semi-skimmed milks; with
skimmed milk now consti-
tuting more than half of the
total household consump-
tion of liquid milk;
a decline in the total con-
sumption of cooking and
spreading fats, but rapid
rises in the consumption of
vegetable and salad oils and
low-fat spreads;
a long-term rise in con-
sumption of fresh fruit, such
as bananas; and
a large increase in fruit juice
consumption
There has been an increase
in the number of meals eaten
away from home, for example
in restaurants or at work, and a
growth in the consumption of
food from ‘take-away’ and
‘fast-food’ shops.
Alcohol consumption has
changed little in recent years.
Beer is the most popular drink
among male drinkers, whose
overall consumption is signifi-
cantly higher than that of
women. A high proportion of
beer is drunk in public houses
(‘pubs’), traditional social cen-
ters for many people, and in
clubs. Consumption of table
wine has grown.

The world’s two biggest bur-
ger chains, McDonald’s and
Burger King, are planning big
expansions to supply what
they believe is the nation’s
increasing appetite for fast
food.
McDonald’s intends to open
100 restaurants each year, to
add to the 830 it has at pre-
sent. Its big rival, Burger
King, which has 455 restau-
rants, is to open 55 new out-
lets this year.
Yesterday Tim Lang, Pro-
fessor of Food Policy at
Thames University, declared
himself an opponent. ‘I would
be congratulating the compa-
nies if they were moving into
selling fruit and vegetables,
but selling more burgers is
hardly the sort of advance that
the British diet needs,’ he said.
Professor Lang believes the
American fast food wave has
changed our eating habits. We
have had fish and chips, Cor-
nish pasties and sandwiches
for a long time, but the differ-
ence is that the burger chains
set up in prime High Street
spots to tempt us in.
‘We can’t say people aren’t
enjoying it. They are buying it
and eating it. But does this
represent a wholesome healthy
food culture? My honest opin-
ion is no.’
The answer, says Professor
Lang, is to get the British back
into their kitchens by teaching
children to cook.
Children used to learn to
cook either at home around
the age of 6 to 8 or at school
between 12 and 15. Now they
miss the second chance and
are subjected to the ‘burgerisa-
tion’ attitude of ‘why bother to
cook when you can nip out
and get a burger or a pizza?’
Food analyst Umesh Rai-
chada said of the McDonald’s
and Burger King plans: ‘There
is definitely room for this
massive expansion. People are
eating out much more than
they used to. These chains are
having to expand now to keep
out the competition from piz-
zas and other ethnic foods.
They’re hoping to win over
the stomach share and they
want to win it before anyone
else does.’
